Nevada’s Nov. 5, 2024, general election ballot will feature four presidential candidates and their running mates. They are:
- Kamala Harris / Tim Walz (D)
- Donald Trump / J.D. Vance (R
- Joel Skousen / Rik Combs (Independent American Party)
- Chase Oliver / Mike ter Maat (L)
This is the same number of candidates on Nevada’s presidential ballot compared to the 2020 and 2012 elections. In 2020, Nevada’s ballot had four candidates: Joe Biden (D), Trump, Jo Jorgensen (L), and Don Blankenship (Independent American Party). Biden won Nevada that year with 50.1% of the vote, followed by Trump with 47.7%, Jorgensen with 1.1%, and Blankenship with 0.2%.
As of Oct. 25, The Cook Political Report, Inside Elections, and Sabato’s Crystal Ball all rated the state as a Toss-up. Nevada was carried by the overall national winner in the nine presidential elections between 1980 and 2012.
Nevada has six electoral votes, tied with five other states for the 30th most electoral votes. Nevada neither gained nor lost electoral votes following the 2020 census.
